On February 25, Keystone Entertainment officially announced BLANK2Y member Youngbin's departure from the group.
The label stated,
"Hello, this is Keystone Entertainment.
First and foremost, we sincerely apologize for causing concern and discomfort to both fans and the public.
Earlier on this day, the agency moved to confirm all related facts following the recent accusations raised on an online community, and it was found that the individual facing the accusations was in fact Youngbin. As a result, we would like to notify you of Youngbin and BLANK2Y's status moving forward.
The agency has decided that Youngbin will leave the group as of this date, and beginning with the scheduled performance 'KROSS Vol.2' later today, BLANK2Y will continue their promotions without Youngbin.
Once again, we apologize for bringing fans and many others concern with matters related to Youngbin.
The agency will continue its best efforts so that BLANK2Y can show you their growth.
Thank you."
Earlier on February 25, an anonymous netizen 'A' came forward on an online community to accuse a male K-Pop idol 'Y' of dating violence against his girlfriend, 'B'.
Any company would have responded just as quickly. This isn't some bs bullying rumors or dating. This is domestic violence plus there's evidence of injury and police reports etc. No company would defend this.
